Thanks for the replies guys, well anyways.

its 3/4 inch MDF all around With !/8 inch plexi glass. i used black paint for the interior of the rack for now, and some cool paint that i have to get a picture of for the cross over piece.

i built three walls on the bottom sheet, and the attatched the top piece as shown.

i test wired everything and snapped a pic, but this is the best so far.... im having problems attatching this down.


Anyone have Any Ideas??

right now what it is connected to is a small piece of wood underneath the carpet screwed into from the amp rack.

so far its holding the G's of turns. but it needs to be better.

Heres the pic. im going to put a piece of wood to Back it, and then have in the middle spots for 1 1/2 inch Fans, the fans will be powered off of the remote,

then in the center between the plexi ill attatch two neons.

are these just powering subs? cause the neons (well, all that ive seen at least) are going to induce noise in the higher frequencies... as for attaching it, i believe a lot of people have had lots of success with velcro.. it holds surprisingly well, and would probably make an excellent compliment to the screws..

LoL, im a pretty big guy, and this thing is HEAVY, im guessing round 70 pounds with ONE amp. nopers.

Thats a 300/4 powering, my mid and high,

then a 500-1 for the sub/subs.

damn. i thought they might...... might have to bust out some ole LED's.....
